Wonderful Life

Run from Houston, Texas
 Spent three years fightin' ALS
 If you knew all that he's been through
 You'd hardly say he's blessed
 But smilin' through a phone call
 He said, "Let me tell you, friend
 This life ain't always wonderful
 But what a wonderful life it's been"
 It'll send you flyin' high
 It'll bring you to your knees
 It's the heartbreak and the happiness
 And everything between
 It's the laugh until it hurts
 It's the hurt until you cry
 Can't have one without the other
 It's how you know that you're alive
 In this broken and beautiful
 Gone mad and magical
 Awfully wonderful life
 ♪
 It's a mountain and a valley
 It's a cradle and a grave
 It's a blessing and a battle
 And it's on any given day
 It's messy and imperfect
 It's a thief and it's a gift
 Yeah, this life ain't always wonderful
 But what a wonderful life it is
 It'll send you flyin' high
 It'll bring you to your knees
 It's the heartbreak and the happiness
 And everything between
 It's the laugh until it hurts
 It's the hurt until you cry
 Can't have one without the other
 It's how you know that you're alive
 In this broken and beautiful
 Gone mad and magical
 Awfully wonderful life
 This wonderful life
 It's a wonderful life
 ♪
 Run, went home to Jesus
 Got the call the other day
 I sat and cried and thought about
 The words I heard him say
 I know there is a Heaven
 Waitin' for us after this
 This life ain't always wonderful
 But this life ain't all there is
 No, this life ain't always wonderful
 But this life ain't all there is
 ♪
 So let it send you flyin' high
 Let it bring me to my knees
 Bring the heartbreak and the happiness
 And everything between
 Let me laugh until it hurts
 Let me hurt until I cry
 And when it comes my time to go
 I'll smile and wave goodbye
 To this broken and beautiful
 Gone mad and magical
 Awfully wonderful life
 It's a broken and beautiful
 Gone mad and magical
 Awfully wonderful life
